Welcome to the Absurditorium

So in preparation for our big trip to Italy (which will be followed closely by big trips to various other places), we have started this blog for your reading enjoyment (or amusement - we're sure you'll be laughing AT us most of the time).

Here are some things you can expect from us and this blog:

Lots of misadventures and elaborate stories of injuries (we'll try to keep this G-rated, as the last injury was not - if you really want to know what happened, ask one of us, or Daniel's left knee)

At least two or three instances of technology failing in our immediate vicinity. Likely technology victims include cell phones, cash registers, I-will-devour-your-boarding-pass-and-then-spit-it-back-out machines (you know, the ones in the airport before you board that devour your boarding pass and then spit it back out), and this laptop.

Chronicles of dubious lodging, which may or may not include bathrooms. If bathrooms are included, they may be the super efficient ones with shower heads located directly above the toilets -- so you get sprinkled while you tinkle.

Occasional musings about popular culture, such as our all time favorite TV Show Buffy and communal behavior on subways.

From time to time, a blog written very late at night, entirely in rhyme.

We can't think of anything else now, but I'm sure we will once we get to it.

Oh, we should explain why this blog is called Mild Absurdity. Ever since we met, we've felt engulfed in a layer of mild absurdity. Let's give you an example. Daniel's injury we alluded to above. Again, you will have to ask us.
